“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the report by Jane and me at the end of the last session. Bill and Peggy will be leaving next week for a vacation in Puerto Rico, and the four of us have already made plans to try some telepathic/clairvoyant communications. The plans are simple; at session times next week Bill and Peggy will attempt to concentrate on Jane, Seth and me, with a view to seeing what Seth can pick up.

Do you have a test for me?

(The material on a dog reminded me that the Bristol stiffeners I enclosed tonight’s test paper in were the same two in which I had enclosed the test photo for the 11th envelope test, in the 194th session. The photo was of our dog, Mischa, now dead. It was taken several years ago or more, on a hot day in the summer; Jane was also with a man whose first initial was W on that day.

I will no longer ask you if you have a test. You will simply at your leisure hand me a test when you have one for me, at any time in the session. You may, in other words, interrupt. Do not tell Ruburt the results of the test immediately.

He has been upset, but this situation will soon be taken care of. It is this, plus the fact that he worries about his score, that is bothering us now. It has not bothered us to any great degree in the Instream material. Though all the connections have not been hits, enough has come through to show validity; though with training Ruburt will improve in allowing me to come through more specifically.

(It will be recalled that Seth himself [or Jane?] initiated the idea of asking me if I had an envelope test at each session. The first such test was held in the 179th session, and Jane knew about it before the session began. In that session however Seth also said it would be better if Jane did not know whether I planned a test before any particular session.

(In the 180th session however, Seth’s comments led into the second envelope test, and in the 183rd session Seth queried me outright as to whether I had a third test for him. This process set up a pattern which we have followed ever since.
